Species Concept
Cards in this deck (7)
- 1A group of interbreeding natural populations that do not successfully mate or reproduce with other such groups (and which occupy a specific niche)Biological species
- 2The smallest group of cohesive individuals that share intrinsic cohesive mechanisms (e.g. interbreeding ability, niche)Cohesion species
- 3A lineage which occupies an adaptive zone different in some way from that of any other lineage in its range and which evolves separately from all lineages outside its rangeEcological species
- 4A single lineage of ancestor-descendant populations which is distinct from other such lineages and which has its own evolutionary tendencies and historical fateEvolutionary species
- 5The smallest natural populations permanently separated from each other by a distinct discontinuity in heritable characteristics (e.g. morphology, behaviour, biochemistry)Morphological species
- 6The smallest group of organisms that is diagnostically distinct from other such clusters and within which there is parental pattern of ancestry and descentPhylogenetic species
- 7A group of organisms that recognise each other for the purpose of mating and fertilisationRecognition species
